According to Take-Two’s CEO, if you don’t have Netflix, you should, because you don’t want to miss the GTA6 trailer

Grand Theft Auto VI: An extended look will, in theory, be the first time we see gameplay from the most anticipated game of the year. And being exclusive to Netflix, a lot of people aren’t sure whether they should watch it on the streaming platform, especially because that exclusivity expires after six hours. Something Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two, GTAVI’s publishing company, is clear about. Yes. You should watch it on Netflix.

A trailer you’ll watch because everyone is going to watch it (according to Strauss Zelnick)

His reasons, to be fair, aren’t all that compelling. “As you can imagine, I’m only going to say good things about Netflix,” he said in comments to IGN. “If you aren’t subscribed to Netflix, you definitely should be. And as for the trailer itself, there’s so little time left before it arrives that I’d rather you draw your own conclusions. I’m sure you’re going to watch it, because everyone will“.

So, what reason is there to pay to watch this trailer? There really doesn’t seem to be one. Zelnick himself seems to confirm that the only reason is FOMO. Assuming you’ll do it because everyone will and that if you have to pay to do it, you’ll do it, it doesn’t seem like the most elegant or practical marketing strategy in the world. But it’s Take-Two’s.

If you’re interested in watching Grand Theft Auto VI: An extended look, it will premiere on Thursday August 27 at 9:00 PM, Spanish mainland time, on Netflix. And six hours later, at 3 in the morning, on YouTube. And will it be worth getting a Netflix account just to watch the trailer? Well honestly, given that it will be on YouTube only six hours later, if you don’t already have a Netflix account, it makes more sense to wait, we’ve already waited this long, so there’s no need to give in to impatience now.
